Paul Ryan Continues to Protect A President Who Refuses to Protect America

The Washington Post Editorial Board has called on Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (D-WI) to “publicly insist that the president approve the release of the Democratic response. He also should remove Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the loose-cannon chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, who is apparently preparing more memos for release. Then the speaker should bring up legislation to shield special counsel Robert S. Mueller III from any White House attempt to undermine or fire him.”

“As always, it’s difficult — but important — to remember what is at stake. A foreign power interfered with an American election. Rather than help defend the country against future interference, the president is slandering the nation’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Mr. Ryan can abet the slander, or he can help defend the country.”
